Two 230 MW combined-cycle power plants were commissioned at Kazan TPP-1 (Tatenergo, JSC). These are the Russia’s first power units initially connected to a Russian equipment-status prognostics system.

Two Kt-46-8,8 steam turbines were manufactured by the Ural Turbine Works for new Kazan TPP-1 units. The turbines are of single-cylinder design, which are based on technical solutions that proved their efficiency in the Т-63 turbine. As part of the new power units, the UTW turbines operate together with PG 6111 FA gas turbines manufactured by General Electric as well as with EMAlliance heat-recovery boilers. The generators for the UTW units were manufactured by Scientific Production Association ELSIB.

Since the commissioning, all the equipment of the new combined-cycle power plants has been connected to the PRANA prognostics system of ROTEC that provides reliable accident protection. The system will detect alarming trends and malfunctions in operation of equipment 2-3 months before they appear and lead to an incident. Based on past application of the system, this reduces by half the losses from accidents and penalties for non-delivery of capacity as well as from expenses for emergency purchase of spare parts and repairs. Due to the PRANA system, the equipment technical status becomes an objectively measurable parameter, allows it to monitor the personnel’s and contractors’ activities, improves efficiency and operating culture of plant assets.

The state Register of computer programs includes the new program modules of the PRANA prognostic system. They are intended to emulate possible accidents and malfunctions, to automate technical reporting, and also to automatically update digital models after repair or service of the equipment.

ROTEC specialists successfully connected two Alstom GT13E2 gas turbines operated at Novogorkovskaya CHPP of PJSC T Plus to the PRANA prognostics system. The total capacity of the equipment is 360 MW. The PRANA mathematical model monitors and every second updates 344 operating parameters of the connected Alstom turbines.

The Belarusian colleagues studied the functional characteristics of the prognostic equipment for PRANA power devices. The new equipment has been designed and patented by ROTEC JSC . The company staff showed differences between the new system and the traditional monitoring systems installed by manufacturers of power equipment on their machinery.

Ural Turbine Works (ROTEC Holding) has developed Russia’s first turbine for waste incineration plants — Kp-77-6,8. This makes it possible to abandon the use of expensive equipment from foreign producers in favour of domestic technologies. Furthermore, due to the use of ROTEC Holding’s prognostic technologies, the new turbine now has the highest level of reliability.

AlfaStrakhovanie and ROTEC have signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of technological risk forecasting and insurance. The companies have agreed on the possibility of using the PRANA industrial equipment condition prognostics system for retrospective analysis of incidents which have led to the occurrence of insured events.

The pilot project is aimed at detecting possible equipment malfunctions at the early stage of their inception — 2-3 months before such a potential malfunction occurs. The system will analyze data on the condition of the main equipment of the CCPP-450 unit.

The International Industrial Fair Innoprom-2017 began with a visit by the Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mikhail Lifshitz, Chairman of the Board of Directors, at ROTEC, told the President about the PRANA System used for prognostics and monitoring of the condition of industrial equipment, new turbines for Moscow and nuclear-powered icebreakers made by the Ural Turbine Works (UTW), about TEEMP's supercapacitors, projects of the T Plus Company and the Kamensk-Uralsky Non-Ferrous Metal Working Plant.

Maxim Lipatov, Chief Specialist of ROTEC Monitoring and Forecasting Department, spoke during the panel discussion called "Management of Resources and Fixed Assets" of the IT summit "Digital Oil Field", where he described the PRANA system of prognostics and monitoring of the condition of industrial equipment.
